Weak points:
- alignof
- js problems
Todo:
- make js work with C++ and mozjs-17
- then mozjs-24
- then mozjs-52
- then mozjs-60
- decrease number of warnings
Add a 'Search contents' button to the cache manager that searches
through the cache items' data rather than their metadata.
Add match_cache_entry_contents.
Add push_cache_hierbox_search_button and
push_cache_hierbox_search_contents_button, which call
push_hierbox_search_button after setting box->ops to either
cache_entry_listbox_ops or cache_entry_listbox_ops_match_contents,
respectively, which define the appropriate match callback for the
hierbox search code.
Add strlcasestr, used in the new match_cache_entry_contents routine.
C99 6.7.4p3 and 6.7.4p6 set some constraints on what can be done in
inline functions and how they can be declared. In particular, any
function declared inline must also be defined in the same translation
unit. To comply with that, remove inline specifiers from function
declarations in header files when the functions are not also defined
in those header files.
Sun Studio 11 on Solaris 9 is stricter than C99 and does not allow
references to static identifiers in extern inline functions. Make the
configure script detect this and define NONSTATIC_INLINE accordingly
in config.h. Then use that in the definitions of all non-static
inline functions.
Document the restrictions and this scheme in doc/hacking.txt.
c_strcasecmp and c_strncasecmp were taken from GNU coreutils 6.9,
which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation and licensed
under GNU GPL version 2 or later. It seems the programs in coreutils
do not normally read commands interactively. So, including coreutils
code in an interactive program such as ELinks could trigger GPLv2
section 2. c), which would require ELinks to display a copyright
notice and a warranty disclaimer each time it is started. Rewrite
those functions to remove the FSF-copyrighted code and make ELinks
not a work based on GNU coreutils.
Avoiding FSF code has the additional benefit that we won't have to ask
FSF for permission if we want to add a licence exception that allows
linking ELinks with OpenSSL. So it seems a good idea even if my
interpretation of GPLv2 2. c) is overly strict. I haven't checked
though whether there are other FSF-copyrighted portions in ELinks.
Old versions of add_string_to_string returned the target string
unmodified if from->source pointed to a null character, which usually
meant that the source string was empty. That was changed in commit
5e18576391f75ad84e04f9c8a30b93d08f0b92ab on 2004-11-03 so that
add_string_to_string instead returned NULL in that situation. The
change seems to have been inadvertent.
I'm now reverting that change and also making add_string_to_string
check the emptiness of the source string based on the stored length
only, rather than on any null characters. So the function can now
also be used with non-C strings containing embedded null characters.
Note that the previous version did not completely prevent embedded
null characters either, because it checked only the first character.
